Birch Book - New Joy lyrics

rate me

Coming 'round the bend over the high life

Never seeing where the signs have marked the trail

The Lovers find their ways in rough surrender

Never knowing where the wind will blow their sails

I don't know that things were ever meant to be easy

Don't know how thus far I've managed to get on

I don't know that you could see this life through my eyes

I don't know that I could show you in a song

This much I know: with love comes sorrow

This much is plain: with new joy, new pain

Of course it's clear looking back in hindsight

That old fantasy of freedom bound to fall

But looking in the mirror there's an open road

Pack it up say goodbye to them all

Have you got a light to give a weary traveler?

Have you got a lift for one who's fallen down?

Have you got a smile to show a broken hearted man

Who knows not where he's bound?

This much I know: with love comes sorrow

This much is plain: with new joy, new pain
